Mercury Learning and Information, R. Anand
This book covers the fundamental concepts of digital signal processing (DSP), introducing discrete-time signals, the z-transform, frequency analysis, discrete and fast Fourier transforms, digital filters, FIR, and statistical DSP. With applications ranging from engineering to telecommunications and medical imaging, this text focuses on representing signals with mathematical models and processing them using discrete-time systems.Understanding DSP is crucial for professionals in various fields as it allows for effective signal representation and manipulation. The book starts with an introduction to DSP and a review of discrete-time signals and systems, followed by a detailed exploration of the z-transform and frequency analysis using DTFT. It further delves into discrete Fourier transforms, fast Fourier transform algorithms, and the implementation of discrete-time systems.The journey continues with in-depth discussions on digital filters, including the design and analysis of infinite impulse response (IIR) and finite impulse response (FIR) filters. The book also covers statistical digital signal processing, multirate DSP, and applications in speech and radar. Through a variety of exercises and a comprehensive glossary, readers will gain a solid understanding of DSP fundamentals and applications.
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity. A quick guide for organisations and business managers
IT Governance Publishing, Thejendra B.S
This book delves into disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC), offering practical strategies for organizations to prepare for and manage disruptions. It starts by defining core concepts of DR and BC, highlighting their role in crisis management. Early chapters explore business impact analysis, data protection, and risk assessment, while examining common IT and non-IT disasters like data loss, cyberattacks, and communication failures.Later sections focus on specific disaster scenarios, such as virus attacks, software failures, and data center risks, offering prevention methods and recovery plans. It also addresses human factors in DR, covering IT staff and contractor management, and the risks tied to outsourcing and project failures.In addition to IT risks, the book explores non-IT disasters, including health crises, financial challenges, and natural events, with strategies for mitigation. The final chapters provide guidance on creating and testing contingency plans, featuring checklists and mock run procedures. This book empowers readers to design, implement, and maintain effective DR and BC plans for their organization’s needs.

VMware vCenter Site Recovery manage is an orchestration tool used to automate disaster recovery in a manner that no other solution does. It is programmed to leverage array-based replication and VMware's proprietary vSphere Replication engine.The book begins by talking about the architecture of SRM and guides you through the procedures involved in installing and configuring SRM to leverage array-based replication. You will then learn how to protect your virtual machines by creating Protection Groups and validate their recoverability by testing recovery plans and even performing failover and failback. Moving on, you will learn how to install and configure vSphere Replication as a standalone disaster recovery solution. It also guides you through the procedures involved in configuring SRM to leverage vSphere replication.Finally, you will learn how to deploy and configure vRealize Orchestrator and its plugin for SRM and vSphere Replication.

This is a step-by-step guide that will help you understand disaster recovery using VMware vSphere Replication 5.5 and VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) 5.5. The topics and configuration procedures are accompanied with relevant screenshots, flowcharts, and logical diagrams that makes grasping the concepts easier. This book is a guide for anyone who is keen on using vSphere Replication or vCenter Site Recovery Manager as a disaster recovery solution. This is an excellent handbook for solution architects, administrators, on-field engineers, and support professionals. Although the book assumes that the reader has some basic knowledge of data center virtualization using VMware vSphere, it can still be a very good reference for anyone who is new to virtualization.

As AI models grow to billions and trillions of parameters, distributed systems are essential for training and serving them. Many resources cover fragments of this domain, but none provide a full path from distributed training to inference and production deployment. This book fills that gap with practical, production-focused examples.It starts with GPU and memory estimation, data preparation, and an overview of GPU architecture, interconnects, and core parallelism strategies. You’ll learn training techniques including data parallelism for single and multi-node setups, parameter sharding for memory-efficient scaling, and methods to reduce memory usage in large models.The next section covers distributed inference and deployment. You’ll build high-performance systems using optimized attention, caching, operator fusion, and router-based designs. You’ll deploy on schedulers and container platforms with GPU-aware orchestration and assemble production stacks emphasizing reliability, scalability, and observability.The final section covers benchmarking, performance tuning, and trends like MoE models, edge - cloud co-ordination, and advanced parallelism. Each chapter includes tested code and debugging guidance.By the end, you’ll be able to build distributed AI systems that scale from a single GPU to large clusters.
Distributed Computing in Java 9. Leverage the latest features of Java 9 for distributed computing
Raja Malleswara Rao Malleswara Rao Pattamsetti
Distributed computing is the concept with which a bigger computation process is accomplished by splitting it into multiple smaller logical activities and performed by diverse systems, resulting in maximized performance in lower infrastructure investment. This book will teach you how to improve the performance of traditional applications through the usage of parallelism and optimized resource utilization in Java 9.After a brief introduction to the fundamentals of distributed and parallel computing, the book moves on to explain different ways of communicating with remote systems/objects in a distributed architecture. You will learn about asynchronous messaging with enterprise integration and related patterns, and how to handle large amount of data using HPC and implement distributed computing for databases. Moving on, it explains how to deploy distributed applications on different cloud platforms and self-contained application development. You will also learn about big data technologies and understand how they contribute to distributed computing. The book concludes with the detailed coverage of testing, debugging, troubleshooting, and security aspects of distributed applications so the programs you build are robust, efficient, and secure.
